Confused, truth is what I choose
Yesterday one of my moms small dogs fell awkwardly when he tried to jump off the couch and ended up hurting his back. They went to the vet and it looks like he possibly has a herniated/slipped disc in his lower back and he currently can't use his hind legs to walk. Naturally it's very sad but once I heard the amount of money it would cost to get the surgery to repair this it kind of threw me into turmoil. I wanted to make this thread to ask some questions about being a pet owner in a very tough situation and maybe get some feedback in regards to a case similar to this one.
Edit: Forgot to mention that he is getting the surgery.
Feel free to reply with anything constructive or with an answer to any of the following:
- Have you ever had a pet with a severe injury or one similar to this? What did you do?
- How much is too much to pay for a pet surgery or is there no amount of money that isn't worth it?
- Is it unethical to not get the surgery if the cost is just too much? Pretty much meaning putting the dog down.
